Hunting Laws and Legal Mistakes in California with Attorney E. Michael Linscheid In this very first episode of the Hunterizer Podcast, hosts Vlad Powerman and David Boinagrov sit down with E. Michael Linscheid, a California attorney who has spent more than 20 years representing hunters and anglers across the state. Together, they explore the complex world of California hunting regulations — and why every hunter needs to understand them before heading into the field. From common mistakes like going over limit or misidentifying game, to serious violations such as trespassing or shooting across roads, Michael explains how easily hunters can get into trouble and why “I didn’t know” is never a defense. He also shares what to do if you’re stopped by a warden, how to handle citations, and when to consider hiring an attorney to protect your rights and privileges. Listeners will also learn how tools like the Hunterizer Hunting Atlas and Hunterizer Seasons App simplify compliance with maps, species-specific rules, and shooting hours — helping hunters avoid costly mistakes. This opening episode sets the tone for the series: expert conversations, real-world insights, and practical guidance to help hunters stay legal, safe, and successful. 👉 Learn more about Michael’s work at linscheidlaw.com (http://linscheidlaw.com) 👉 Explore hunting tools and resources at Hunterizer.com (http://Hunterizer.com) Hosted on Ausha.
